Connections

CCC Co-chair

The direction of Climate Change Connection is set by our Steering Committee. That committee is led by two very passionate and capable co-chairpeople:

Dan McInnis

Dan is acting Executive Director of the Manitoba Eco-Network (MEN) just until the next director is selected sometime over the summer 2017.

MEN is an umbrella for more than 70 environmental non-governmental organizations, and is affiliated with the Canadian Environmental Network and regional networks across the country. MEN undertakes educational programs on a variety of issues, including hosting the Climate Change Connection and the Water Caucus Program at the Eco-Centre in downtown Winnipeg.

Other programs and projects include

workshops on environmental assessment

the links between the environment and human health

hosting the Manitoba Environmental Youth Network (MEYN)

educating Winnipeggers about the benefits and logistics of pesticide-free lawn care

The Eco-Network is home to the Alice Chambers Memorial Library, and publisher of Manitoba’s primary environmental news-magazine, Eco-Journal.

As well, MEN provides referral and information services to the general public.
